what if you wake-up and the people you love do not know you?

memory - how important is memory of your loved ones about you?

Have you imagined yourself waking up, then people who matter to you do not recognize you. They treat you like you're just one of the strangers. You wanted to tell them that you are their sister or daughter, and yet they seem to look odd and confused of why you are there? For me, that would be the saddest thing that will ever happen. I do not want my parents or brothers to delete their memories about me because that would mean erasing my whole life time with them. Memories are best treasured in the heart. And once you have kept it in your heart, you know that no matter where you are the very memories of loved ones always feel like home. Would you want people who mattered to you have no memory about you? Why?

well, it is a reality that at some point in time, people, especially the older ones, tend to forget about different things. sometimes, to an extent that they cannot recognize their loved ones anymore. it really does bring a sad feeling whenever one of your loved ones does not recognize you. good thing about it is that there are still some of them left to love you back and treasure you. ofcourse, it would be impossible for all of them to suddenly lose memory, right?

I agree with you. If that ever happened to me, it would be the saddest day of my life. I would never want anyone to forget that I existed. I would be so alone in life! There may be some things, some mistakes that I have done in life that I would wish everyone would forget, but definitely not everything about me! I would prefer, and of course, hope that everything people would remember about me are the good things I have done to them.

That's kind of freaky huh? I don't want that to happen to me because my family matters the most to me. Just thinking of what you said makes me sad and makes me think how I had been as a child and a sister to them. My memories as little kid makes me feel happy at times of sadness. I do because I know I was well-taken care off when I was smaller and until now. Even if I am almost thirty, they still treat me as a baby just because I am the youngest. I hope it won't happen. That's really sad. =(
